Hoothoot -- Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Hoothoot from the Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Set. Hoothoot is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 60. It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Hoothoot does not have an Ability and it only has one move. The only move this card has is called Dual Draw, this move requires one colorless energy card and allows each player to draw 2 cards.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Hoothoot is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Noctwol, which I'll be reviewing tomorrow, you'll more than likely want to use this card with that Pokemon. However, since I haven't reviewed that card yet, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolution. So on its own, I would not recommend using Hoothoot in a deck. My main reason for saying this is because Hoothoot cannot do any damage to your opponent's Pokemon, so if you can't evolve it, there is no reason to use it. Besides not being able to do damage, the only move Hoothoot has will benefit your opponent as well as yourself. So if you need one more basic Pokemon in your deck, I would not recommend using this one.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating. In my opinion, this is a very poor basic Pokemon card. Even though this card will work in any deck, I'm giving this card my lowest rating because Hoothoot cannot do any damage with Dual Draw, its only move, and Dual Draw actually benefits your opponent. So do not use this card at all, unless you need it specifically for Noctowl.
